When and How to Speak Up for Others

Most of us can recall examples of when a leader or someone we know brought to attention a policy, way of doing things or something someone said that overpowered someone else or a group of people. And we ALL have opportunities to speak up for those who have less power than we do - whether it's someone of another gender or race or a beneficiary.   But how do we speak up in a way that is productive and more likely to have a positive impact? In this episode Chen Kandungure and I discuss when to speak up, when to not speak up, best practices in speaking up on behalf of others, what to do when we speak up and nothing happens and more.
